Weapon Speed question.
Would you do much more damage Hero if you used a decent Normal speed (6) two handed with booster or a decent Fast speed (5) one handed sword and a decent attack shield (10 attack) with booster? Or does it not make much of a difference? And are there any fourth tier warrior one handed swords that have a speed of 4?
I heard that booster makes your weapon speed go up by two, but it can't go past three for warriors even with SI, is that true?

vip sword has 31 attack speed advantage
intrepid slash has a delay of 690 ms fast 3(vip+ booster)
intrepid slash has a delay of 630 ms faster 2(pyrope+booster)
690/630 = 9.52% speed advantage
31/0.0952 = 326
this means you need above 326 total attack for a pyrope to beat a vip axe/sword, although thinking about it, you are losing 38 attack since you are losing enhancement attacks consider a perfect gm scrolled pyrope would be under 151 getting 3 att per enhancement while a vip axe/sword would be above 151 getting 4 att per enhancement, or if you use 20%, you are losing 4 attack. So if you are going for enhancement you need 400 total attack to beat it or 368 attack if you are using 20%
What if you're poor as in you generally have 500m on your character and no NX? Should I go with a Stonetooth or eventually buy a VIP one-handed axe and an attack shield?
[quote=leannesama]the fastest speed is faster 2, there is no limit to classes. There is no such thing as 4th tier anymore. The best sword to use atm would lionheart sword from empress but that's unkillable atm, the next best sword would be vip 1-h sword. But if you are going to use that as a hero then you rather go for vip axe as it's cheaper and has same speed/multiplier as vip sword, not to mention that axes generally has higher attack anyways.[/quote]

[quote=MapleSpirit]In my opinion you should just use a perfect Stonetooth Sword or a Night Raven Wing because they're 2 handed and have the Fast Weapon Attack Speed.
Fast speed on a 2 handed is really good since its got the speed of a 1 handed and the damage multiplier of a 2 handed![/quote]
2-h swords has 10% higher multiplier, meaning for a 1-h sword to beat it, all it will need is 10% higher attack, in which case not exactly that hard with a shield with attack and str % potential, each tier of speed for all warriors are not attack valued. it's % valued, example: fast 4 weapon has about 10% speed advantage compare to fast 5 weapons, same as normal 6>fast 5, although not exactly 10% it's around there since it's not exact values for all warriors, for example arans gets 11.x% or 12.x%(forgot which) than compare to other warriors who gets 9.x% or 10.x%.

yeah, depends on the stats...
i know for aran a single point better speed level in a polearm is something like a 30 attack equivalent, cant remember where i heard that, or if its true, but yeah, i go with it, it seems safe enough to assume around that value.
